I have seen this behaviour from many people too. They generally are quite weak and are unsure as to their worthiness to exist if they haven't got somebody actively telling them they love them. It's a part of the human brain that needs to be told it's worthy of somebody else. These people will also tend to do as their told a lot, and believe the words of somebody they perceive to be better than them as gospel and not even question their word.
On the positive side they are less likely to cause more than petty trouble than those of us that know ourselves and our own strengths better, and tend to be better employees as they will do as their told without asking questions. They are much weaker leaders however.

That answers your question right there if you have friends who feel differently then you do which means 'some people' can only be happy if they are in a relationship. you seem to have a good head on your shoulders and do not need a relationship to be happy which is a good thing, because not everyone is in a relationship ALL the time and you dont want to be walking around when you are single as an unhappy person.

Yes, I really do believ that some people are only happy when they are in a relationship--but I'm not certain if all of those people recognize it.
I have tried to figure this one out for a while but my best guess is that theyh need someone for validaiton, someone to love, and someone who loves them in return.
For a while, I was also that individual who was perfectly content being single but in my freshman year of college I met a man who changed my life around. I don't believe that I could be happy without him but I definetly feel as though there is a distinction between the two situations.

I have been single for years and really value my freedom and independance.Some women are frightened to be alone or do not feel whole without a partner and so will not be single for long.I have witnessed girlfreinds who have gone to peices without a man and this has always baffled me,especially when they go out with anybody just so they are part of a couple. After serious relationship breakups i beleive we need time to get over it and have time out otherwise the reason for for rushing into another relationship becomes superficial and won't last.I mix with men,flirt with them and interact with men but i really do not feel the need to be joined at the hip with one.(exceptions apply of course)
